So I decided to change the storyline slightly; I edited the first chapter a wee bit at the very end. Since it's time-intensive to format chapters into Menewsha, I'll be keeping the fic strictly on my Fanfiction.net account from now on. Check it out, if you'd be so kind:

The Art of Perseverance by Erymanthos (me on Fanfiction.net)

I'm working on Chapter 2 right now! If you want, you can chat about the fic in this thread.
